Is there a restaurant called Beef O'Brady's in Texas?
I just saw an ad for it here. Looked local, and also really frightening.
Not many people really use LSB to talk Cowboys games huh
I mean we make a lot of posts, but there’s only about 5 of us.
Well. . .
. . . it is a baseball blog.
Of course, the resident SBN Cowboys blog is full of nutcases.
Anyways as I said in the other thread
A) The boys sure try to force it to Williams close to the goal. Good or bad?
B) In position to win AT Philadelphia, how ginormous. That would upset conventional wisdom about the NFC East balance of power for the last 1.5 years.
Randy White
He needs to drive over to Valley Ranch, kick Carpenter’s ass, and then take his number 54 jersey out of his locker.

OT, one of my roommates has taken to writing "inspirational quotes" on our wall.
One of them starts with, in his writing, “LIFE, LOVE, DICEPSION.” I think that’s “deception.”
None of them are actually inspirational, they just sound good without really saying anything intelligent.
Is there anyway I could arrange a fight to the death between Chris Collinsowrth
and anyone who’s a really, really good fighter?

I actually like Colinsworth. . .
. . . just because he’s one of only, like, two analysts who ever points out anything I wouldn’t have noticed without him pointing it out.
I'm tired of Barber
Falling down on impact. He’s not well, I don’t care what the injury reports state.
I like steak.
his running style leads to a short shelf life
my guess is that he’ll never be the same Barbarian.

He would have had to stop and jump up

I think if they had something in their proverbial bag of tricks with Vick, they’d use it.

Vick
did anybody really expect him to come back and be a decent NFL player?
poor work ethic, lack of intelligence, and a couple of years sitting around in a jail cell… He’s a guy that wasn’t going to have much going for him after he lost a step and I think he’s lost a couple.

Time running out so fast
Shit, it’s already down to 7 minutes left in 3rd. Time almost already becoming a factor.
Well, they had the ball
You have to stop them, get the ball back, score in some fashion (at least a FG) etc.
There’s just not a lot of time left for margin of error aka them scoring again I guess is what I’m trying to say.
i wish NFL had college rules when it comes to the game clock
and well, everything else really…
other than SEC refs.

Not sure I understand this challenge

If I was them I'd go for it
I doubt we could stop them on such short yardage. But as is common in the NFL, they’ll probably gift us and punt.
It's weird to me
When coaches have the red flag out no matter what. It seemed clear that no matter what the video showed, Reid was going to throw that flag.
I rofled when he did too
The fact he’s fat, the crowd reaction, the nonchalant toss, all contributed to the funny.
that lost time out
could hurt them.

looked like he gave up on the play and the guy didn’t really have an angle to get him.

ive got about zero hope for a big play when they hand it to barber these days.
although his season average is still good.. hmm..

The interesting thing about Jenkins
Is that coming out of college, he wasn’t supposed to be a playmaker, but more of a solid, reliable cover guy.

Well he made a good effort, it was hard and high.. tough play.

empty backfield on 3rd and 5? not what i would have done but i guess there’s no reason to try to keep blockers when their blitzes beat our max protect

looks like both teams gonna play this without timouts. maybe they made a pact
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
Back when he brought insight, Madden put together a montage. . .
. . . supporting his belief that McNabb avoids interceptions by not being particularly accurate with the ball, so that either his receivers have to make an extra move for them, or they’d be incomplete, but never picked. And also, never in particularly good position for extra yards.
It was, at least, compelling.
be nice to sharky

Umm
The idiot commentators kept saying the spot should be where McNabb’s elbow touched and it should be a 1st.
Totally ignoring the fact if you follow the play that long, the ball had fallen out of McNabbs hand by then anyway.
It was just laying on the o lineman's leg
so if you’re going to say that counts for a spot, then if anything it should have been a fumble I guess
Wade is hilarious
He only demonstrates emotion on things the players have no control over, like a successful challenge or a missed FG or something.

well he has his own axe to grind against the eagles
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
It's weird to me
How blatant he and Johnson are about their axe grinding. Key I understand a little more I guess, since he’s only recently retired, but Carter’s been out of the league—and certainly out of Philly—for a long time now. Grow up.

it's been so long since we won one of those
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
We just won AT Philadelphia
I cant believe my eyes.
This changes the whole season in enormous ways. This is now going to be more like the 13-3 dominant team than last years 9-7.
Glad to see Micheals give Wade some much deserved props there too.
Garrett still calls the weirdest run game ever with all those delays, but whatever I guess, it’s working.
Also
The real difference this season is the defense, because Wade is running it.
It might not be something you notice every drive, every game, or every play, it sneaks up on you, but now, we actually stop people.
Schedule's still not what I'd call favorable though
I know Washington really sucks, but the rivalry always makes me nervous. Ditto with New York.
at ny?
they should probably be favored. they are still a good team
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
I think 11-5...
is a good goal to go for at this point.

Two Washingtons, Oakland, and....?

beat SD?
I dunno. if this really is a good team, they should win 2 out of those 4 tough games

I guess you're right.

Yes...
but as a goal, you have to hope you win one of those. Win one of those, Green Bay, two Washington games, and Oakland, and you’re 11-5.
by ghostofErikThompson on Nov 8, 2009 11:00 PM CST up reply actions
So were Atlanta and at Philly
Philly, New York, San Diego and New Orleans is scary.
They may lose all of them, who knows, but I don’t know why you would predict for them to go 0-5 in challenging games, necessarily.
by Brett Perryman on Nov 8, 2009 11:24 PM CST up reply actions
It's not out of the question to me.
I’m not being rational I guess, or at least I’m just not quick to give them the benefit of the doubt.
Of course it's not out of the question
but there’s devil’s advocate and then there’s actually predicting something. I would not be surprised at all if they go 9-7, but I also would not be surprised at all if they go 11-5. 10-6 would be my conservative pick at the moment. Injuries, of course, can easily scuttle things for this team.
by Brett Perryman on Nov 9, 2009 4:02 PM CST up reply actions
I would say
That if this is as good a team as they’ve looked the last 3 weeks, then they should demolish Washington twice, roll over Oakland, and win at least one of those other 5. Maybe two.
I never predicted anything because frankly, I don’t know exactly what to make of this team. They generally looked like shit early, and have looked excellent of late.

Ever since Kenny Phillips went down (And Manning’s plantar fasciitis).
Also, they don’t play any better at home than they do on the road.
I like steak.
And Dallas and NY
are only like one game more/less likely to win at home for the last seven years. Form has held twice, and it reversed once.

mcnabb
i thought his bad game had more to do with him than the defense. and his receivers dropped a number of balls too
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
LOL
In the game, towards the end, I kept thinking, you know, McNabb is kind of old. Hopefully his age catches up to him on this play. And then he got sacked too.
Weird stuff lol.
I dunno, McNabb has never totally sold me, on of those never got all the way over the hump guys, although I guess he got far enough, it’s just chance he hasn’t won a SB.
Anyways, as Reid kind of pointed out in his presser, it was just a close game, ten plays or even Ref calls that could have gone either way could have swung that game either way.
Awesome win
Not very often that Dallas a) gets the breaks and b) wins the turnover battle in Philly. Ten wins should give you a real good shot at the playoffs in the NFC this year, and though they have a tough schedule the rest of the way, there are four wins there if they play well at all.
It would be cool
If Roy Williams becomes the shirt yardage, sure possession guy, and Austin can be the deep threat.
Witten has disappeared in a lot of ways as a threat though, despite big third down catches.
I love Austin.
I think he only got one ball thrown his way the entire 2nd half. Also, couple of good plays by Kevin Ogletree. If he stays healthy he should be good.
David Buehler is a badass.

Who wouldn't love Ogletree?
Two things I learned from the preseason, Ogletree is a potential monster, and Tennessee really sucked.
ogletree is a monster?
you know he’s a football player and not a coordinator, right? and he doesn’t play QB…
"I just want to comment on how it’s become like a common thing in the [MLB] for guys to fall in love with [the Rangers’s] sloppy seconds." (thanks cstorm)
So...looking ahead...
Won’t they be favored in their next 3 games? @GB (who lost to the Tampa Creamsicles today), home to Was then home to Oakland on Thanksgiving? Not that any win is guaranteed in the NFL, but I have a hard time not seeing them at 8-3 (if not 9-2) at the close of November.
December looks gross though. Still, at that point you could feasibly lose to NYG, Philly, NOLa and SD and still make the playoffs by beating Was and being 10-6 (assuming a win @GB next week).
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
And
it’s not like the Eagles have a cakewalk. Look at their second half. Five road games, and not one of them is easy. Two home games they should win, but then Denver too. And they have to pick up a game on Dallas.
@San Diego
@Chicago
Washington
@Atlanta
@N.Y. Giants
San Francisco
Denver
@Dallas
The Giants have four losses. Are they only going to lose 1-2 of these seven? Again, two games they should win, but the other five are quite tough. They have Dallas and Philly at home, but again, it’s not like they always sweep them at home, especially when everyone’s pretty good.
Atlanta
@Denver
Dallas
Philadelphia
@Washington
Carolina

Hmm...interesting.
It’s weird how the NFC West and (hopefully) NFC North matchups will end up working out for the 3 teams in the NFC East race. Going into the season, Green Bay and Seattle did not seem like games where the Cowboys would be favored by 7+, but it might end up that way…
Minnesota and Arizona are about what I figured they’d be going into the season, but I think there’s a decent argument to be made that Chicago and SF are tougher matchups than GB and Seattle.
Still, even if the Cowboys finish out the year well enough to win the division, there’s a greater than zero chance that you have to win at NOLa AND at Min to advance. I’m not sure the Colts could do that, let alone the Cowboys.
If Brad Pitt is playing Beane who do you want playing you?
JD: Eddie Guardado.
exactly right
I was just coming in here to post that the chances of securing a first round bye are nigh impossible. New Orleans looks that good and they have a 2 gm lead on the Cowboys. Minnesota only has a one game lead, but their schedule is so ridiculously easy that I think they could win most of the rest of their games with Tarvaris at QB.
Favorite bumper sticker of all time, seen on a VW bus:
"Gas, Grass, or Ass. Nobody rides for free"
The only thing I’d say about the playoffs part is that I’m not sure that NO and Minnesota are all that unbeatable at home in the playoffs. I’m also not sure that they and Indy are the three best teams in the league. We’ll find out more in the next few weeks on that.
But NO looks like a team that could go like 15-1 and lose in the divisional round to me. I mean they could also go to the Super Bowl, but so could Dallas and GB in 2007 and NY in 2008. Their defense is schemed much better, but not every team is going to throw the ball up for grabs like they’ve taken advantage of this year several times, and the offense is tough, but I think that you can gum it up in a playoff game, especially if you get the right crew. You have to contend with the crowd, but that’s nothing new.
Minnesota has an attractive team because they have good lines and AD, but they aren’t dominating people any more than the Cowboys are. They are a very good team, and they may well be better than Dallas, but they don’t look all that frightening to me, just a good, solid playoff team.
I don’t know if Dallas could go beat both of them, but I think that someone like Pittsburgh, Indy or NE could. Also, in today’s NFL, a lot changes between week 9 and week 16.
by Brett Perryman on Nov 9, 2009 12:00 PM CST up reply actions
I don't see NE as a title contender
I think Pitt and Cinci are the top 2 all around best teams in the AFC right nwo
huh @ deion
So i recorded nfl network postgame to skip through the comments…
Some guy asks Deion Sanders if the cowboys are the best team in the NFC East and he responds with “huh?” and goes off on some thing about how hes not deion sanders waving cowboys pom poms… as if only a homer could say the team leading the division is the best team in the division? It was weird.
the preceding post was a great success.
Whatever
the hell happened to Rex Grossman? Is he still in the NFL?

offense hasn’t done much at all.

They can't run for beans...
..somehow I don’t think a 2 to 1 pass:run ratio was in their initial game plan.

Against Cincy—Benson had 76 last time and they won. He’s probably going to have to get more for them to win this time.

I've only gotten to see the 2nd half
but Denver looks like they’ve finally come back to earth lately, and Orton especially does.
In the games I've seen
he’s looked fine, but he’s been asked to do very little, even when he’s thrown a fair amount.

agreed
pretty mediocre team despite the start.
